Birthday girl Helen Walker with Tyrone Power in perhaps her best film "Nightmare Alley"
Walker had just finished making what would become her most well-known film, 1947's Nightmare Alley, and was filming Heaven Only Knows when an auto accident drastically disrupted Walker's career.
On December 31, 1946, while driving the car of director Bruce "Lucky" Humberstone from Palm Springs to Hollywood, she gave a ride to three hitchhiking soldiers named Robert E. Lee, Philip Mercado, and Joseph Montaldo. Near Redlands, California, the car hit a divider and flipped over, killing Lee and causing serious injuries to Walker and the other two passengers. She was charged with drunk driving and reckless driving, and Mercado brought a civil suit for $150,000 against her. Her good intentions were shattered.
